Imagine a company wants to sell its shares to thousands of people to raise money. To do this fairly, the law says it must give you a detailed report card called a prospectus. This document tells you everything you need to know as an investor: the company’s health, its goals, and the risks involved, so investors or buyers can make a smart decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if a company doesn’t directly sell you the shares, rather it sells a huge chunk of its shares to a merchant bank (middleman). Then, that bank turns around and offers those same shares to you. It seems like the company is avoiding its duty to give you the full story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where the law introduces new rules. In this blog, we will understand what a deemed prospectus is. The idea is straightforward: if a document is used to offer a company\u2019s shares to the public, even through an intermediary, the law treats it as a prospectus. For example, when a bank issues an “Offer for Sale” for shares it recently purchased from a company, the law considers that document as the company\u2019s own deemed prospectus. This means the company remains fully accountable for all the information it contains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
